Sustainability and HR – The Ecotone Story

Over the last few months, ChapmanCG’s Tim Rayner has been talking to HR leaders about their efforts in bringing sustainability into their organisations’ everyday strategy and EVP.

As the rest of the world plays catch up, what can we learn from the companies already living with sustainability as part of their DNA?

Stendert Krommenden lives and breathes sustainability as Ecotone’s Chief People and Sustainability Officer. Ecotone promotes healthy living through its range of organic food and beverage brands and is committed to protecting biodiversity and fighting against climate change.

In this insightful conversation, Stendert delves into Ecotone’s long-term objectives and explains how the company has implemented a sustainability-focused strategy that is embedded in its culture. He also advocates for the integration of sustainability into HR, rather than keeping it isolated, and emphasises the importance of people in the process.
